Title: How to repair my rv the best way, tire blow out!
Post by: trophyhunt on October 23, 2020, 01:43:34 PM: So my one year old trailer tire blew out, the damage I’m mostly concerned with is the floor underneath, just above the tire. It rubbed through the nylon fabric, and the insulation, exposing the plywood. I bought some frantic from the dealer but they weren’t much help after that. Do I use expanding foam as insulation, form it up with a piece of plywood w a hole in the middle to let out the extra foam. What would be the best adhesive to put over the foam and to hold that fabric on?? Any ideas or expirences with the same thing?

If it were me I would drill several holes for input expansion and escape but fastne to the plywood via a spacer of some sort. OR use some kind of other insulation that can be glued/stapled in place like the reflective sheets of the closed cell foam that is glue backed with foil backing. can be had at HD or lows for $1 a square.

great idea, with the cost of these trailers you’d think it would be standard.

I agree. I find it pretty easy to walk around my trailer and observe things when I stop for something. Look how the tires are sitting. If it looks low I double check with my $12 pressure gauge. I touch my hubs to see if they are getting hot. I look over my lights and hitch and safety chains. Pretty cheap insurance and will almost always identify any potential problems.

Post by: smalldog on November 07, 2020, 09:05:49 PM: You can buy TPMS and the brand that I use is TireMinder and I just get the sensors for 4 tires and its pretty cheap compared to what it would cost for prepares. If you look on Amazon you can get this system for around $214 dollars.
